The winery lies at the foot of the craggy Stellenbosch mountain, and its quirky flowing roofline is mirrored in the reflecting pond that serves to cool the cellar below and can be used for fire fighting if necessary.

The origin of the building’s distinctive roofline lies in the artwork of the commissioning client. Cristoph Dornier was a renowned Swiss artist and the shapes generated in the building are evident in his artwork on view in the winery.

The focus behind Dornier Malbec, is to showcase single varietals grown on Dornier Estate.

On the nose: this wine is full of dark berries and plums with hints of violets.

On the palate: rich in texture and shows characteristics of berry, dark chocolate and juicy fruit. the finish is long with a balanced acidity and fine tannin structure.
